Malignant Mesothelioma Types, Brings about, Stages and Remedy Options


Coming from the mesothelium tumor tissue cancer known as malignant mesothelioma is a rare form of the system. Mesothelium as the thoracic and abdominal cavities and line protection of these cells is a layer in a large number of internal organs.

Malignant Mesothelioma  Types

Pleural mesothelioma is pleural mesothelioma, or a variety of malignant mesothelioma is called first. Approximately 75% of all mesothelioma mesothelioma create these conditions, the most common variety. The lung pleura, lung and chest wall to stop rubbing offers a greased surface of the thoracic cavity, thin serous membrane found. It also serves as a protective layer.

The second most common type of mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma is peritoneal mesothelioma is defined as. The peritoneum is a thin serous membrane that covers the abdominal organs. Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer, malignant mesothelioma. All these disease conditions mesothelioma ten% is 20%. These tumors tend to be much more invasive by individuals who are diagnosed with this condition assumes the presence of pleural mesothelioma were pulled shorter.

Mesothelioma 3 also known as pericardial mesothelioma and pericardial mesothelioma is the most common type. It is less than ten% of all mesothelioma cases. Pericardium (heart sac) is a serous membrane that surrounds and protects the heart.

Visceral pleural malignant mesothelioma every year, two, there are 200 new cases. Mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose and is rarely curable. Typical symptoms include shortness of breath and chest pain.

It brings

Asbestos is mainly the result of the visceral pleura and malignant mesothelioma. Or symptoms of mesothelioma marks the beginning and duration of exposure to asbestos about 20 to 50 long years. Therefore, late onset, a lifestyle, it takes a long time, the most typical. It also takes place more often in men than in women.

Diagnosis

Doctors usually make the cut through the chest wall and see in the area with two ribs insert an instrument called a thoracoscope. Doctors and then decide on a tissue sample can be analyzed under a microscope to perform a biopsy.

Mesothelioma level

Stage I: Cancer of the lung and chest cavity, the lining around the heart and lungs and diaphragm are discovered.

Stage II: Cancer has spread through the lining of the chest lymph nodes in the chest.

Stage III: Cancer curtain lining the chest wall, or abdominal, thoracic center, the heart, to spread, and in some cases to a few nearby lymph nodes.

Stage IV: Cancer has spread to distant organs or tissues.

Treatment

Radiation and radiation therapy is used in cases of cancer localized in position.
Stages of malignant mesothelioma chemotherapy is used more sophisticated.

Cytoreductive treatments, and hyperthermic (heated) chemotherapy for peritoneal metastases (tumors containing peritoneum) and improves quality of life and lifestyle.

Surgery is an option for stage I malignant mesothelioma. A phase IV surgical methods to treat II is still evolving.

What are the Types of Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is cancer of the lining around the lungs and abdomen caused by asbestos name. There are three types of mesothelioma from some deadly mesothelioma until the middle. All three share similar symptoms, each of the three cases, it is the first to show after exposure to asbestos for the symptoms can last for decades longer.

Pleural mesothelioma


The most common form protective coating mesothelioma (pleural) through the gap affects the lungs. Here, mesothelioma, and there is a lung lining of the chest cavity, accumulation of fluid occurs. Pleural mesothelioma symptoms may include the following:

Shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath, persistent cough, fever, weight loss, hoarseness, coughing up blood or raspy voice

Peritoneal mesothelioma

This is a rare form of mesothelioma affects the stomach and abdomen. Although the body of the stomach to expand to press against any of the following symptoms, primary tumors in other parts of the stomach cancer:

Abdominal pain, nausea, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, vomiting, breathing problems, chest pain, fever, bowel obstruction, blood clotting disorders.

Pericardial mesothelioma
Pericardial mesothelioma is a rare cancer mesothelioma. Cancer, such as the heart and the heart is affected by known circumference. Pericardial mesothelioma symptoms can include:

Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, palpitations, chest pain, persistent cough

This is known as non-specific symptoms. In fact, such as shortness of breath and chest pain, these same problems are symptoms of pneumonia.

Early detection is always useful, but any of these symptoms can take decades to appear. Smokers are exposed to high levels of asbestos, greatly increases the risk of this deadly disease.

Types Of Malignant Mesothelioma

A person who is exposed to asbestos fibers inhaled or absorbed, which is not very visible to the naked eye. As time passes, these fibers reacted with the cells of the body in such a way that they are subject to mutations and cause malignant mesothelioma. This exposure can be directly and indirectly, as family members and friends who come in contact with a person who is exposed to asbestos.

Types of Mesothelioma

The first type is called pleural mesothelioma mesothelioma, which affects the inner lining of the lungs, called the pleura. When asbestos fibers are inhaled causing scarring and damage to the cells in the inner lining. This leads to attack mesothelioma cancer. This is the most common type of mesothelioma symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, fluid retention in the lungs and signs of blood in the saliva.

The next type of mesothelioma is called peritoneal mesothelioma, which affects the inner lining of the stomach. This occurs when the asbestos fibers in the body and interfere with normal cells, penetrating her thin mucosa. It is not very often, but the attack was marked by symptoms including abdominal pain, a feeling of nausea, constipation, sections of tissue in the abdomen, etc.

The third type is pericardial mesothelioma, which affects the lining of the heart. There are very few cases of this type of cancer diagnosis and symptoms include chest pain, heart palpitations and mild cough.

Mesothelioma life

This is a very dangerous form of cancer, a man who has been diagnosed do not live more than two years. The danger is more than the fact that the symptoms occur only a few decades after the first exposure to asbestos. Although the underlying cause is exposure to asbestos, it is not the only reason. In the 30 to 40 years at the surface after the initial infection. But the main reason for concern is that by the time he was diagnosed usually in the later stages. Life expectancy of mesothelioma is less than two years, this time period is very painful, mentally and physically. There are many doctors and surgeons who are constantly experimenting with treatments and preventive methods, I feel very positive that could increase to almost 5 years. If this is possible, then it would be a great achievement in the world of medicine, as of today Mesothelioma is the dreaded "silent killer.

The benefit of early diagnosis


The man who was exposed to asbestos at any point of time in life it is always advisable to test for mesothelioma. Even if they are not directly exposed, even if a family member, as well as to your family and to check for signs. Since it takes a long time for symptoms to point to your current state of health is not a criterion. Even if you're completely right now to check for any damage. It is better to check before symptoms appear, it will soon be too late.

There are many types of mesothelioma cancer, and most of the effects of the causes are still unknown. However, due to asbestos exposure and mesothelioma life expectancy is necessary to know the type of cancer.
